Abstract

Signal regulatory protein (SIRP) alpha1 is a membrane glycoprotein and a member of the SIRP receptor family. These transmembrane receptors have been shown to exert negative effects on signal transduction by receptor tyrosine kinases via immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs in the carboxyl domain. Previous work has demonstrated that SIRPs negatively regulate many signaling pathways leading to reduction in tumor migration, survival, and cell transformation. Thus, modulation of SIRP expression levels or activity could be of great significance in the field of cancer therapy. The aim of the present study was to determine the factors that regulate levels of SIRPalpha1 in human glioblastoma cells that frequently overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) because SIRPs have been shown to negatively regulate EGFR signaling. Northern blot analysis and immunoprecipitation assays showed variable expression levels of endogenous SIRPalpha transcripts in nine well-characterized glioblastoma cell lines. We examined SIRPalpha1 regulation in U87MG and U373MG cells in comparison with clonal derivatives that express a truncated form of erbB2, which negatively regulates EGFR signaling by inducing the formation of nonfunction...Continue Reading
